Computation

Computation is a common term for any type of information processing that can be represent mathematically. This includes phenomenon ranging from simple calculations to human idea. In a more narrow meaning, computation is a process following a well distinct model that is understood and can be expressed in an algorithm, protocol, network topology, etc.

This hypothetical computing equipment can be viewed as idealized analog computers which operate on real numbers and are differential, whereas digital computers are partial to computable numbers and are algebraic. Depending on the model select, this may enable real computers to solve problems that are inextricable on digital computers.
